En: Luka stood at the edge of Lake Bled and gazed into the shimmering, blue water. Sl: Zahodni veter je rahlo pihal, a zrak je bil topel, saj je bilo pomlad. En: The western wind lightly blew, but the air was warm since it was spring. Sl: Okrog njega so cvetele rože, ptice so pele, a njegove misli so bile pri drznem načrtu. En: Flowers bloomed around him, birds sang, but his thoughts were on a daring plan. Sl: "Maja, Gregor," je zaklical Luka in se obrnil k prijateljema. En: "Maja, Gregor," called Luka, turning to his friends. Sl: Stala sta ob njem, pripravljena videti njegovo naslednjo potezo. En: They stood by him, ready to witness his next move. Sl: Gregor se je nasmihal, v njegovih očeh pa se je zrcalila nežna preračunljivost. En: Gregor smiled, a gentle shrewdness reflected in his eyes. Sl: "Da slišimo, Luka. En: "Let's hear it, Luka. Sl: Si res tako pogumen? En: Are you really that brave?" Sl: " je dražil Gregor. En: teased Gregor. Sl: Maja, ki je stala ob Gregorju, je zavila z očmi, vendar se ji je nasmeh vseeno prikradel na obraz. En: Maja, standing beside Gregor, rolled her eyes, but a smile still crept onto her face. Sl: "Luka, morda je voda še vedno mrzla," je svetovala z rahlim zadržkom. En: "Luka, the water might still be cold," she advised with slight hesitation. Sl: "Preveri, preden skočiš. En: "Check before you jump." Sl: "Luka se je ozrl nazaj na jezero. En: Luka looked back at the lake. Sl: Voda je bila videti spokojna, toda vedel je, da je jezero globoko. En: The water appeared calm, but he knew the lake was deep. Sl: Pogledal je proti gradu na hribu, ki je bdel nad pokrajino, in nato k otoku, kjer je stala majhna cerkev. En: He glanced toward the castle on the hill that watched over the landscape, and then to the island where a small church stood. Sl: Srce mu je razbijalo. En: His heart was pounding. Sl: Najprej se je želja po dokazovanju zdela dovolj, zdaj pa ga je začel prevzemati dvom. En: At first, the desire to prove himself seemed enough, but now doubt began to consume him. Sl: "Nič skrbeti," je Luka glasno razložil in se pogumno nasmehnil. En: "Don’t worry," Luka explained loudly and smiled bravely. Sl: Njegova glava in srce sta se pričela boriti: strah proti želji po dokazovanju. En: His mind and heart began to struggle: fear versus the desire to prove himself. Sl: Vedeti je moral, če je res tako pogumen, kot se je želel pokazati. En: He needed to know if he was as brave as he wished to seem. Sl: Stopil je korak naprej, se upognil in pripravil na skok. En: He stepped forward, bent down, and prepared to jump. Sl: "Na tri,” je rekel sam sebi tiho. En: "On three," he said quietly to himself. Sl: “Ena, dve, tri! En: "One, two, three!" Sl: " In skočil. En: And he jumped. Sl: V trenutku, ko je njegov korak zapustil varnost obale, je občutil rahlo obžalovanje. En: The moment his step left the safety of the shore, he felt a slight regret. Sl: Voda, ki je zšla vse do njegove kože, je bila ledena. En: The water, which came all the way to his skin, was icy. Sl: Telo mu je streslo od nenadnega mraza. En: His body shivered from the sudden cold. Sl: Slišal je, kako se Maja in Gregor smejita. En: He heard Maja and Gregor laughing. Sl: Pravzaprav so smeh kmalu spremljali ploskanje in vzkliki veselja. En: In fact, their laughter was soon accompanied by clapping and joyful shouts. Sl: S tresenjem je Luka začel plavati nazaj na obalo. En: Shivering, Luka began to swim back to the shore. Sl: Zdaj ga ni več skrbelo, kako ga bodo videli prijatelji. En: Now he no longer cared about how his friends would see him. Sl: Zdelo se je, da mu prijateljstvo in skupni trenutki pomenijo več kot vsa hrabrost na svetu. En: It seemed that friendship and shared moments meant more to him than all the courage in the world. Sl: Ko je Luka priplaval nazaj, stegnil roko iz vode in se popraskal po mokri glavi, je opazil, da ga Maja in Gregor pričakujeta z odprtimi rokami. En: When Luka swam back, reached out his hand from the water, and scratched his wet head, he noticed Maja and Gregor waiting for him with open arms. Sl: "Hvala bogu, da sem to preživel," je rekel z nasmeškom, tudi s smehom, ki ga je delil z dvema prijateljema. En: "Thank goodness I survived that," he said with a smile, laughing along with his two friends. Sl: Gregor mu je vrnil topel plašč, Maja pa mu je podala brisačo. En: Gregor handed back his warm coat, and Maja gave him a towel. Sl: "Seveda si to naredil," je rekla Maja. En: "Of course, you did," said Maja. Sl: "In zdaj vemo, da je bilo to za nas vse druženje, ne dokazovanje. En: "And now we know it was about being together, not proving anything." Sl: " Vsi trije so ostali še malo pri jezeru, gledali sončni zahod in uživali v prepros
